What does social media provide in terms of SEO? At MWI, we get these questions frequently from our customers who are currently or are considering becoming clients. Although social media has been an increasingly popular channel for marketing in recent years, most firms haven't yet begun to take advantage of the potential of it. This is especially true if you are investing in SEO. Creating and managing social media accounts are essential to aid in SEO initiatives, but the benefits may not be immediately evident. Below are five reasons why social media is vital to SEO.

1) Social Media Signals
It's not difficult to see that Google, Bing, and other search engines rely on online dialogue in their algorithm for ranking. Social engagements occur the time when people share, like, comment, share, or tweet about a piece of content. Content that has more engagements on social media will show higher social signals. Search engines measure these social signals and consider it an indicator of quality when ranking content. This allows search engines to know what people find most useful and what their algorithms consider top-quality. If an article has a high amount of social engagement it will be immediately identified.

2) Link Building
It's been a long moment when you could simply solicit links from other websites. In the wake of Google's Panda and Penguin algorithm, SEOs are forced to create links in the old fashioned way - create high quality content that is link-worthy. But how do you reach sites who are willing to link to your site if you ask them directly, which is an "unnatural" link building method? Social media is the answer. Social media allows you to expose your content to of relevant groups of people who may be influenced to link to it should it be worthy of linking to. These users will then share your content with others and boost your authority.

3.) Amplification of content
No matter how top-quality the content you publish, it's not going to achieve much success without amplification. Email marketing is an effective way to boost content, but it'll only be able to reach people who are in your database of marketing. The possibility of reaching new audiences is through social media. If you publish your content to your followers, they'll spread it to their own followers If they are satisfied with the content. The people who share it will promote your content to their followers, thereby increasing your reach. You'll also get relevant traffic as well as inbound linking as well as social signals and brand recognition, all of which can be used by search engines for content quality evaluation.

The brand's identity and reputation can tell search engines a lot about the quality of your site and how much it should be respected in their ranking algorithms. Social media can help build brand recognition and boosts the visibility of the quality of your content. Google refers to this as co-citation. Building these co-citations using social media can boost Google's trust and confidence in your site, as well as aiding by bringing in search queries that are branded.

5.) Social Indexing
Since search engines index social media sites these profiles are now showing as search results. This allows your business to appear in search results that include branded searches on more than the site of your business. This gets more effective. Individual tweets on Twitter were once indexed and shown in search results as well providing another method for your content to rank in search. The service was temporary for a couple of months, until Google took the decision to end the service, and it's still in place. Google will once again show tweets in search results, so it's important to leverage it for getting your content ranked.
